Presumably you would have to disable the autofocus on one of them otherwise they would chase each other.I tried stacking 2 x Pentax 1.7AF TC's with my Pentax A 100mm 2.8 and I couldn't get it too autofocus at all. I was just playing around with it and as gillbod says, was just curious.
here it is.
As you can see there is no AF linkage so it can't drive the AF of the lens or the TC that's on it.

You are right Stefan.
I'm still not convinced they are "Nederlands modellen" as they claim they are - why would de Beukelaer supply them before the biggies who are Pentax premium dealers?
Very odd.
I don't know Gwyn all I know is that they have them and they even had a nice display with all the Pentax models in the shop, that was quite pleasant to see You are right Stefan.

They could be imported from one of our Neighbours... don't know if that count as grey-import since the boarders are open in the EU.

:No mention of cash back on Pentax.nl Wouldn't be the first time they didn't bother with NL/Be because of de Beukelaer. It's a pity Pentax Europe don't take over distribution. No doubt they have a really long watertight contract.
I'm not a fan of de Beukelaer either... maybe they can put use under Germany?:No mention of cash back on Pentax.nl Wouldn't be the first time they didn't bother with NL/Be because of de Beukelaer.

Never heard off any service complains from them.

Gwyn i was at Camera.nl a week ago and i hold the Pentax Kr and the K5 there and the website say they have the k5 at stock link
And since camera.nl is a sister off klein it's likely they have it as well.
In Rotterdam there is Klein professional those are still pretty good but i mostly go to Kameraexpress or the local store here.
The stores that give direct cashback there are Amazon, Saturn and MediaMarkt maybe they do the same in the UK?
I really hope they will do the same action here but it doesn't look likely

Body here is €1119 at a good dealer not a unknown internet store link... the body is under €1200 here without any cashback, so I don't get the point for me. Ah well...
So if i get the K5 from SRS with the cashback it would still be cheaper to buy one here without the cashback...
But off course €100/€150 is always nice right?

Funnily enought there were some comments out from the Leader just a few days ago; he said Intel didn't rate USB 3 so he wasn't a fan either.And when will the Mac have USB3
A motherboard hint if you want to make a White Mac link
Gigabyte motherboards are quite compatible with OSX and also Foxconn is a good bet because they actually make the motherboards for Apple it seems.
@ Danny (unlocker)
You were looking at putting SSD disks in RAID i believe.
Why not buy this one, for the money they are very well priced OCZ RevoDrive X2
Don't know if Mac support harddrive over pci-e though...

What do you plan to use the lens for?
You said you shoot landscapes, that can be done of course with a FA 31mm depending on your style but maybe something a little bit wider might be better?
One way to test if the focal length is right is to put one off your zoom lenses on that focal length and leave it there for the whole day.
You notice fast enough if the focal length is for you or not.
